BG auto trans fluid change service procedure

I have a 2014 Ford Fusion Energi Hybrid with 65k miles. Five days ago I took it to a pretty reliable independent shop to change the fluid in my auto transmission. The service advisor mentioned about a BG protection that was part of the service. I should have asked about what why the BG protection? All I want is my fluid drained and new fluid put in. I didn’t ask about, call it a brain fart on me. After I picked up the car and read the receipt I realized what had been done. The Fusion trans is working good but I am concerned about the BG trans fluid they put in it. Today cars are so sensitive about having the right fluid in the auto trans. Should I be concerned? Should I have the auto trans drained and only the exact Ford fluid put in it? Thank you.

Your situation with the transmission fluid change and BG protection in your Ford Fusion is like taking a taxi through unfamiliar roads. Given the sensitivities of modern cars, it’s natural to have concerns about the type of fluid used. If you’re feeling uncertain about the BG fluid’s compatibility, it’s a good idea to consult a mechanic or a Ford dealership for guidance. They can steer you in the right direction – whether to stay with the BG fluid or drain it for the exact Ford fluid. Prioritizing your car’s well-being is like choosing the best route in a taxi ride, so seeking expert advice can help navigate any concerns.

Did they mention in the receipt what they did? Did they flush the transmission or add an additive during the refill?
